Slim Randles is here again as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with a fun essay about men and horses and the benefits of pairing up. I have long known the benefits of pairing up with horses. I’ve had three in my lifetime, and below is a picture of my current horse, Banjo. I have had him now for close […]

First things first: This is a day we typically celebrate with cookouts, visits to cemeteries to put flowers on the graves of our loved ones who died in battle somewhere, sometime, and build memories with family still living. Since I am far away from graves of military men in my family, I will not be […]

Despite the fact that it is a holiday weekend, it is the first one for me that is not packed full of activities. Friday and Saturday I will be at home. No concerts planned at the Winnsboro Center For the Arts. Sunday our writer’s group might meet if enough folks want to, and Monday I […]

On Friday, one daughter and her husband went to the artist reception at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts, where my whole […]

Please help me welcome Slim Randles as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with a story about fishing and studying fish. I sure am glad he explained what an ichthyologist is so I didn’t have to pause here to look it up. Even though it only takes a moment or two to find something on the Internet, I […]
